The biggest navy battle in history occurred off the coast of Jutland in the afternoon of 31 May 1916 when the German High Seas Fleet confronted a six-mile lane of grey-steel dreadnoughts of the British Great Fleet. In this momentous ‘Clash of Titans’ more than 200 warships of the rival navies were involved in a series of bitterly fought actions that lasted throughout the night. The result could determine the course of the First World War; as Churchill put it, ‘Britain could have lost the war in an afternoon.’
